Just curious… our company is new to Rails and we host all our sites  
for our clients. We want a good, fast, reliable host. One that’s  
scalable and easy to deploy.

Heroku ([http://heroku.com](http://heroku.com)) was recommended to me and I really like the  
workflow and how it’s specifically geared towards Rails. Does anyone  
have a reason to suggest that Heroku may not be a good place to host?

Heroku rocks! The only caveat is that not all applications may fit its  
limitations. But if yours does, for God’s sakes use it.

## Best,
